Every school is
unique! It sounds like a truism, but it's a truth that every school
start-up needs to respect. And it doesn't matter how many schools you've
already opened; the next one will be different. After all, that's the
whole beauty of schools, isn't it? They evolve and develop their own
special character. This is particularly true in international education
where there is a fiercely competitive market, and the most successful schools
will be those that most authentically fit their local eco-system and
context. And that's why this book is so essential! Chapter by
chapter, this thought-provoking in-depth exploration of all stages of opening a
new international school takes you to the heart of the challenges you will
face. There are answers, derived from the successful experiences of
school leaders who have great track records in this area, but more importantly,
here you will find the 'right questions' to ask yourself in this process.
Through this process of supporting and challenging you to develop as a school
leader, school owner or school governor, the authors believe they can help you
to open a sustainable school with an enduring global legacy.
